MAP OF THE County OF Stafford, FROM AN ACTUAL SURVEY Made in the Years 1818 & 1819.

Large and attractive map of Staffordshire with a detailed and decorative vignette view of Lichfield Cathedral lower right. During the eighteenth century each county map was a separate project sponsored by the local gentry. By 1800 nearly all English counties had been surveyed. In the early nineteenth century two enterprises attempted to survey all the English counties: the brothers Christopher and John Greenwood, and Andrew Bryant. This map comes from the Greenwoods atlas, which was published in parts, but was never completed.

Very good condition; small tears to margins, not affecting the image; red stain above the vignette.
